To the request of the United States he replied that, out of respect for "the indisputable titles of sovereignty," he could not prejudge or anticipate the determination of the king of Spain. It was some ten years before Spain could be persuaded to renounce her ancient claims. St. Papers, For. Rel., Vol. III, p. 538. Wharton's Digest, Sec. 69, and Moore's Digest of Int. Law, Vol. I, p. 177.
She was overwhelmed by the space and silence, the color and form; and as she came close to Wharton's four great figures of the evangelists and saw how coarsely they were painted, and looked sheer down from them upon the distant church-floor, she thought herself in an older world, and would hardly have felt surprised at finding herself turned into an Italian peasant-girl, and at seeing Michael Angelo and Raphael, instead of Wharton and Esther, walk in at the side door, and proceed to paint her in celestial grandeur and beauty, as the new Madonna of the prairie, over the high altar.
To his unspeakable consternation, Vivian now discovered that he had sent the letter intended for Selina to Mrs. Wharton; and that which was designed for Mrs. Wharton he had directed to Miss Sidney. Vivian was so lost in thought, that the cry of "Mrs. Wharton's carriage stops the way!" was vociferated many times before he recovered sufficient presence of mind to hand the lady out of the house.
It was one thing to express an informal opinion of another girl's action, but quite another to make a formal accusation against her in the club where they had lived and worked and grown together in bonds almost closer than family ones. Next Edith studied Sylvia Wharton's expression.
Within fifteen minutes after the arrival of the east-bound train, Moreton was sitting at the desk in his office, studying Miss Wharton's face. Della had been met at the train by Warden who now stood just inside the door of the office, watching her, admiring her self-possession. For Della was calm and deliberate.
Wharton's political adversaries thirsted for his blood, and repeatedly tried to shed it. Had he not been a man of imperturbable temper, dauntless courage and consummate skill in fence, his life would have been a short one.
The evidence which would warrant a formal verdict of guilty was not forthcoming; and a formal verdict of guilty would hardly have answered Wharton's purpose better than the informal verdict of guilty which the whole nation had already pronounced. The work was done. The Whigs were dominant. Leeds was no longer chief minister, was indeed no longer a minister at all.
Whilst the King was at Windsor-Castle, once walking upon the leads there, he looked upon Captain Wharton's Almanack: 'My book, saith he, 'speaks well as to the weather: One William Allen standing by; 'what, saith he, 'saith his antagonist, Mr. Lilly? 'I do not care for Lilly, said his Majesty, 'he hath been always against me, and became a little bitter in his expressions.
It was Wharton's idea that they should walk round the park, and Lopez for a time had discouraged the suggestion. "It is a wretchedly dark place at night, and you don't know whom you may meet there." "You don't mean to say that you are afraid to walk round St. James's Park with me, because it's dark!" said Wharton.
Wharton's eye, and that her first task should be to paint a standing figure of St. Cecilia, some eight or ten feet high, on the wall of the north transept. St. John's church was a pleasant spot for such work.
